SiteMapPath .Net component works fine on .Net environment. But it seems not on .Net Core.
For e.g., if the https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/2f59d0/implementing-sitemap-in-Asp-Net/ is developed choosing .Net Core, the breadcrumps as expected do not show up.
But I couldn't find any official doc from Microsoft on that. Does any one know.
Thank you.
We currently use T4 templates to generate C# code files based on C# Code (Entity POCO's) and the EDMX (in older applications)
Moving to ASP.NET 5 with a view to support cross platform development, are there any code generation tools available that can read a projects class & meta data structures, and to generate C# files at design time, similar to T4 templates?
You can try Scripty - it is Roslyn based scripting.
Syntax highlighting for *.csx files works out of the box;
VS extension exists to process scripts on save;
MSBuild task exists to process scripts during buld process;
Script allows you to traverse a hierarchical model of the project;
Multiple files generation from single script is supported;
yeoman seems to be a good option. There exist some generators already for scaffolding asp.net 5 apps and you can create your own generators
It is cross platform and can be used on linux/mac/windows.
Even tt templates weren't supported earlier in asp.net-5 projects. It has been added recently (in Visual Studio 2015 Update 1).
The discussion is here: https://github.com/aspnet/Home/issues/272
And in the thread, Eilon said the Roslyn is the way to analyse the code and generate new ones... And he again said the ASP team has no immediate plan. So currently we have no solution from Microsoft.
But I did some search and didn't find any cross platform community tool to generate codes based on other codes. :(
Scriban worked for me as an alternative to replace T4 templates for generating unit test code. But it's a pure templating engine.
The new LeMP preprocessing engine for C# can be used as an alternative to T4 templates. May I ask what specifically you mean by "projects class & meta data structures"?
For this purpose I created a simple python
script called "autogen".
How it works: the script takes jinja template file (instead of T4) and data file (json) and generates one or multiple output files (e.g. C#, or any format) based on the template.
How it can be used (example): describe interface (methods, parameters) definition in json file, create *.j2 template files for C#, Java, Python, etc.. Then run autogen.py script and files for proxy/stub for all languages will be created.
This can help to create lot of similar code without copy/pasting and make code changes by simply changing single json file.
Moreover it can be integrated with build pipiline, msbuild (.net, .net core) and is cross-platform.
I have been looking into this same sort of thing, although not specifically with ASP.NET MVC but across project types as I move to .Net Core. I kept my T4 relying on EDMX early on. Which works out since EF7 moves beyond the file format in favor of code. Where I was planning on going with my code generation was a combination of ScriptCS and C# REPL. Roslyn complicates things for me a tad since there are no design time assemblies from what I understand. So the trick may be to understand and introspect cs files from within the project.
I have a Data Access Layer solution built in Visual Studio 2010. It uses Entity Data Model (.edmx files) to create object models of the data.
It is built with .Net 3.5 framework so I assume this is also version 3.5 of Entity Framework?
We use a number of TVFs to return datasets and unfortunately EF 3.5 does not provide access to TVFs. So we have has to build tsql views that call those TVFs.
Is it possible to upgrade this solution to EF 6 and use TVFs? What are the steps involved?
Microsoft has release a guide to do. You find it here:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/upgradeef6.aspx
It involves getting the latest assemblies and do some modifications in order to run. It seems upgrading from an older version is a little harder than from a new version.
I would like to know if there is a constant like {dotnet40} that would find the latest installed NET framework on the user's computer, no matter which one that would be?
Something like {dotnethighestavailable}?
Thank you very much for the help!
No, there is no such constant {dotnethighestavailable}. It would be useless anyway because you need to consider that not always you will have the latest Inno Setup release which would reflect the most recent .NET framework.
If your question has been raised because you are missing a {dotnet45} constant, then I would refer you to this post, where is written that .NET 4.5 framework is in the same directory as .NET 4.0 and so you can use the {dotnet40} constant.
hey I know it's an old question but I'm a little stuck trying to even get Npgsql to work with EF4 at all! I can't seem to register the provider wherever it needs to go in order for it to show up in the the Entity Data Model Wizard.
When trying to create a new model, I try and create the connection to the Postgres database in the "Change Data Source" dialog. But the only providers in here are differing flavours of MSSQL and "". The data provider combo on this form doesn't show Npgsql or anything postgres related.
I have already done the usual of registering npgsql and the mono security assemblies in the GAC. I've modified machine.config (32 and 64bit) to have the provider factory entry required.
I'm using VS2010 SP1 on Windows 7 64bit & Npgsql 2.0.11.92. I'm developing for .NET4.
Any ideas of how to get this working would be much appreciated.
Unfortunately Npgsql doesn't have support for VS Wizards.
We have a very early work in progress which you can give a try.
Checkout our downloads page and look for the Npgsql.Provider.zip file.
Follow the install instructions there and let me know if it works ok for you.
Again, sorry for the lack of support.
I hope it helps.
